Ju 290 to Identify

Hi. Can anyone identify the variant of this Ju290. The 'gondola' under the nose seems very different to anything I have seen on the type (or on the Ju90).
Of course it may be not real - the figures seem a little odd - but that may just be the quality.

Re: Ju 290 to Identify

Hi Snautzer. Thanks for the quick response but I really think not in this case. The general conformation of the fuselage is wrong for the Fw200 and if you look at the U/C it is not Fw200 - the U/C strut is more visible on the port side.

Re: Ju 290 to Identify

Hi Mike

That should be the Ju 90 V 7, code J4 + CH (maybe winter 43/44).
The Ju 90 V 8 looks very similar, but the dark camouflage on the bow extends just below the air intake.

best wishes
JoMe

Re: Ju 290 to Identify

Thanks for the replies. I will move it to the correct location. I have several pics of the V-7 without armament and the V-8 with the more typical gondola.
